@AmazingComp I would describe it more like a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, without all the annoying UI and stability issues both suffer from, pretty much the opposite of suck; I guess we disagree. Now if you mean ALL social media sucks, I understand your point, which you have posted on the internet, sort of suggesting that is not what you mean.
@iwearyourshirt Dammit! I’ve been pronouncing it wrong forever!! Q: The peanut butter isn’t HIF, is it?!
nice!

I closed my face book account and never have bin on twitter I would rather do things in the real world.
@AsAboveSoBelow01 go buy urself a candy bah
I have always considered facebook and twitter lame. I have never understood the need. And I will never understand why people are so eager to put so much personal information anywhere on the internet for the public to see.
Except Facebook isn’t supposed to replace anything. It is just another waste of time that happens to be slightly more fun then what people used to do. Facebook can really bond people and to not acknowledge that is just stupid. Ofcourse you don’t talk with those 200-300 people all the time. But that was never the point in the first place.
I hate FB, I hate the fact that people are constantly writing what they are doing so annoying, I preferred myspace better because people didnt’ do that, but I have neither now. My preference is now youtube, really it’s so much better nothing beats watching videos youre interested in watching and having ur friends know what u watch and what u favorite and vice versa and u can send each other messages. To me theirs no reason I need to know when ur bored and u desperately need someone to hit u up!
I’m 21 and proud I don’t have a Facebook, myspace, twitter, etc…
How wrong are these people? Major Dad has no clue what he’s talking about. Provided you don’t use Facebook as an excuse to not engage real people in real life, it simply makes friendships more robust. Learning about people’s politics, beliefs, music interests, thoughts…. it only serves to improve your relationships when you finally get together for a beer.
@panurge987 “I see no reason why those games couldn’t allow people to interact within those games without having to “friend” them” Technical problems, I think; you need friend rights to post to somebody’s wall.
I could live with game-friends; it’s one way to meet people and actually allow social interaction – which was the whole point. But the big problem is that FB games can’t be arsed to separate player friends from non-player friends, which bothers both non-players and me as a player.
Yey I’m ahead of my time. I closed my facebook years ago, after a brief few months of being sub’d to it. The privacy policy was the real reason, but I’ve never been into this social media hype. Maybe because I’m not into social chit chat anyway, I don’t see the point. But gimme focused group cooperation in MMO’s any day.
online friendship is usually a farce. it allows people to seclude while still having the pretense of not. i see a similar thing with the ipod. does anyone else remember when the kid walking around with the headphones and tape deck was a weirdo? now it is cool to have music pumping into your head constantly. it totally ruins the experience. you like chocolate pudding? okay, hold some in your mouth all day. that is how people use the ipod now.
I have over 14,000 friends on facebook all of whom I know personally and most of whom I know intimately.
@Kwikspur lol PM it to me. That sounds really interesting.
@streetfightsecrets Exactly. The only downside is the 500 char limit. If it wasn’t for that, I’d literally pretty much never use facebook. As it is, I don’t get it. It’s only useful for the lack of a character limit.
@mrchoochoohead Um… I’d say most people on YouTube are.
@Kwikspur You are the one who is misrepresenting yourself. Don’t partake in childish behavior and expect not to get reprimanded. And yes I didn’t watch the video because it is premium accounts only.
@AduhAwas Did you watch the video and not see what I was referencing? And just for the record, I’m actually a graduate student of Classics at Columbia and quite capable of producing scholarly work and engaging in academic discussion and debate. If you earnestly would take one’s persona on the internet as representative of their mental sphere of reckoning, you’re very likely on the lower scale of human intellect.
